Distribution, abundance, population structures, and potential impacts of the invasive snail, Tarebia granifera in aquatic ecosystems of north‐eastern South Africa [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.The study investigates Tarebia granifera, a highly successful aquatic invader, in South Africa's Limpopo and Phongolo River systems. The study revealed that T. granifera dominates in habitats where it is present, negatively impacting native molluscan species. Interestingly, the study did not find significant correlations between T.

Co‐Occurrence Patterns of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Laurentian Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.We investigated community structure and species co‐occurrence patterns in Great Lakes coastal wetlands benthic macroinvertebrates using null models. We developed a framework and approach to address recent controversy over the use of presence‐absence matrices and null models to infer ecological interactions from non‐random co‐occurrence patterns using ...

Procambarus virginalis Lyko, 2017: A new threat to Iberian inland waters [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.We provide the first record of Procambarus virginalis in the Iberian Peninsula, based on morphological and genetic evidence (molecular barcoding of COI). We discuss its most plausible introduction pathways, update its global geographical distribution, highlight the potential impacts if it becomes invasive in Iberia and recommend some proposal ...

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.
